I've thought about hooking my A/C compressor up to my system. I've got 2 5-gallons tanks and 2 Viair 450 compressors, but that ain't enough !!!

How do I hook up the compressor to the system ??? I think I know how to install the electrical part. It must be something about using a pressureswitch to controll when it shall be turned off. But how do I mount the hoses ??????
There are 2 hoses. Are the one an intake or what ??

The problem with those GM compressors is that they need a constant supply of oil... in stock form, they depend on the Freon for lubrication, thats why the majority of people use York compressors..
but yes, one hose is "suction" and the other is pressure..
if you can devise an oil system, you could make it work.

O.k. - Thanks for the answer. Looks like it's better and easyer to find at mount an York Compressor instead. Maybe I'll find one when I'm going to the Pomona Swap Meet in April...????
I've read that York compressores are mounted in old Volvo's !!?? Is that right ? If that's correct I will have NO problem finding 100's of'em on the local junkyards. We danes loves Volvo's....

How about the clutch on a York... Is that electric just like it is on my Frigidair (GM) compressor ???

BTW: What program did You use to make your avatar ??? It looks COOL !!!

Dennis made my avatar for me
yep, Yorks came on Volvos, as well as Fords, and some Chryslers I hear..
ya the clutcj just needs a +12VDC to engage..

good luck!
